The first thing any chef needs to know is how to correctly use the most important tool in the kitchen. This is a hands-on class, and will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be a more confident cook!

This class is perfect for beginners or anyone wishing to up their game in the kitchen. We’ll start with proper hand positioning, knife safety and caring for your tools. We’ll also talk you through what you should, and shouldn’t include in your basic knife set at home. Everyone will get lots of time to practice as we guide you through the fundamental cuts. At each of our Knife Skills classes, we’ll prep ingredients for a specific dish to snack on at the end of class. September’s class will focus on prepping produce for a grazing platter.

What to Expect:

  • Class includes all ingredients, recipes, tools and instruction.

  • Instruction via some demo and some hands-on cooking.

  • Plenty of sampling, plus recipes to take home.

  • Knives will be provided, but you are welcome to bring a knife from home that you’d like to practice with.

Class Date: Saturday, September 28th, 6:30 - 8:00 pm
